Fact #129213

When:

Short story:

Paul McCartney and Wings play their first live show together, at Nottingham University, Nottingham, England, UK. This marks the beginning of a tour in which the dates are not announced or advertised. The band simply turns up in towns around the country and seeks out a suitable venue.

Full article:

Denny Seiwell (drummer, Wings) : It was like a family, that band in the beginning. We were in the trenches with him, the university tour. He drove that damn band. We had wives, kids and dogs in the van. We set out trying to find a place to play. We didn't have a gig booked. We didn't have hotel reservations. And he was driving that damn van.

If we were all talking about our past experiences, he'd throw in a Beatles story just to top us. But it really wasn't the topic of conversation at any point. If he brought it up, great. We really didn't care. I think Denny Laine knew all the other lads. He was close with John. He probably initiated more than anybody simply because he was part of that whole time period.
